Something horrible happened today, and no-one cared.

Today, the 15th of October 2011, Batman Adventure: The Ride 2 at Warner Bros Movie World closed permanently to make room for the Green Latern Coaster opening this summer.

For almost twenty years, BA:TR2 gave Australia the one thing is needed above all else. A secure economy? Proper border security that humanely treats asylum seekers? Improvements to infrastructure, especially in the areas of health and education? No, it was better than that.

It gave us a fucking anamatronic Michael Keaton. Talking to bad early-90s CGI characters.

If that is not the meaning of life I don’t know what is.
